Exfoliation is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine because it is the removal of dead skin cells that makes the skin smooth and stimulates its renewal. The easiest way to exfoliate your skin is to use a scrub, an over-the-counter product containing small abrasive particles. For example, Ukrainian beauty brand Mayur presents a range of natural face & body scrubs formulated with sea salt and coconut oil.
Why is exfoliation so important for your skin? The thing is, excessive build-up of skin cells combined with sebum (skin oil) clogs pores and causes comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), breakouts and acne. It also results in dull complexion and lifeless skin. Exfoliation helps to remove dead cells and unclog pores, and thus prevents breakouts, makes the skin soft and smooth, and keeps it looking fresh and glowing.
Exfoliating personal care products may contain micro-beads (tiny plastic particles), salt or sugar crystals, ground coffee, crushed almond shells or apricot kernel, berry seeds, pumice, crushed volcanic rocks, and other abrasives. Tiny sugar and salt crystals are considered to be among the best exfoliants because they gradually dissolve without scratching or otherwise damaging the skin.
Ukrainian beauty brand Mayur offers a line of face & body scrubs based on sea salt. Specializing in the production of Ayurvedic personal care products, Mayur formulates its scrubs exclusively with natural ingredients: finely ground sea salt, unrefined coconut oil, and natural essential oils that are valued for their amazing smell and antibacterial properties.
As we’ve already mentioned above, sea salt is an effective natural exfoliant. Tiny salt crystals easily remove dirt, grime and dead cells from the surface of the skin, providing very delicate cleansing. However, you should keep in mind that salt can cause a burning sensation if your skin is irritated or already damaged, but this goes for any exfoliant; you simply shouldn’t exfoliate if you have any skin problems. In addition, sea salt is a rich source of sodium, zinc, iodine, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, manganese, and other minerals that will make your skin healthier.
Another important ingredient contained in Mayur face & body scrubs is coconut oil. Rich in saturated fatty acids, it is one of the most popular skincare oils. Coconut oil effectively moisturises the skin and prevents dryness and flaking, improves skin elasticity, makes it softer and smoother. Due to its high saturated fat content, coconut oil is slow to oxidise. This means that it has a naturally long shelf life and doesn’t require any additional preservatives.
Essential oils contained in Mayur scrubs include lavender oil, lemongrass oil, orange peel oil, verbena oil, rose oil, ylang-ylang oil, and lemon peel oil. All essential oils have an antiseptic and antibacterial effect. They help to eliminate pathogenic microbes that cause acne. In addition, essential oils are valued for their aromatherapeutic properties. They boost the mood and help to forget your troubles for at least a little while.
And last but not least, all face & body scrubs by Mayur are infused with vitamin E (tocopherol). This vitamin is widely used as a cosmetic ingredient because of its antioxidant properties (the ability to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals). Vitamin E prevents premature skin ageing, stimulates skin cell regeneration and renewal, speeds up the healing of minor skin injuries, and prevents acne scars.
